Sigh

It was late. It was dark outside.

But I really, really needed to pee. :-/

The thing about Nature is this: When she calls, you answer. So I out of my cosy, warm bed I jumped. The chilly fake-wind from the air-conditioning danced across my skin and gave me goosebumps in an instant. I quickly moved toward my door, pulled it open, and took a peek outside. Darkness. Never the matter, I flicked the switch to the bathroom just 2 feet from where I stood, and light flooded the area. So, I walked into the bathroom and did what I went out to do. I peed. But while sitting down, my mind wandered. As it so often does when its not engaged. And I don't know about you but peeing isn't exactly engaging for me. :-/ Anyway, as my mind wandered, this thought promptly arrived: "Hmmm. Where is that girl?? Why no pitter patter?? Why no peek-ins like there always was whenever I made any midnight toilet visits?!" I frowned at the possibility that my rare presence at home wasn't noticed tonight. But just as quickly as that frown came to me, it vanished. Because then, I remember with an ache in my heart – she's gone. ='(
